*Quick brief (pun intended :-)) guide*

If you just started law school (a 1L) and were given your first law school assignment, you probably were required to read a Supreme Court case and brief it. Reading a court case and completing a case brief is one of the 1st things law professors require of new students. In order to brief a case, you must understand the case. LaRita walks you through how to read a court case and use IRAC to draft a case brief. Learn how to read and write like a law student.

Issue Rule Analysis (or Application) Conclusion (IRAC) or CRAC will follow you all throughout law school. LaRita talks about how you can become an expert at brief writing and reading the voluminous amounts of court cases! The Bluebook will become your best friend and worst enemy!

Once you train your eye, you will be able to become an expert legal research reader and writer. Some undergraduate political science and criminal justice (prelaw) classes prepare you for law school and require you to brief court cases. Be prepared for any potential legal assignment. Watch the video until the end!

James E. Rogers College of Law, University of Arizona. I begin L1 in the Spring of 2025. I start the JD-Next Program on October 7, 2024. this program has received a Variance from 57 Law Schools around the country to stand in place of the LSAT or GRE. I would say "Wish me luck" but I already know how to spell 'LUCK'...it is spelled E-F-F-O-R-T! 😎🙏

I am studying to finish my Paralegal degree and I am really struggling with the IRAC concept for some reason. I think you did a great job on explaining this. It would be awesome if you could do a video when you IRAC a case through out the course of the video, breaking each step down. Great job though, thank you!

I am a MARJ at Vermont Law School ... Thank you!

THANK YOU!!! This was short, and perfectly concise, It will have lasting long term effects on me. I am learning that searching for outside tutorials and information is what is going to help me succeed at becoming a paralegal. I am at Bryant and Stratton for online paralegal studies, It is my 6th week of the session, with 1 and a half to go, and then my first ever law class will be complete. I have a wonderful instructor, I am learning fast and doing well so far. My instructor responds well and is helpful when I email her, But being online there is much less guidance and teaching, because of this there is so much confusion. I spent countless hours researching and reading about how to correctly do a case brief. The brief was broken down by one section a week, and I scored 100's on all the sections of the brief so far, but even while turning in assignments I still fell anxious wondering is this actually right. If this video was given to us as a reference in the first week I would not only have sky high marks, but I would also have a complete understanding of the material being taught. Your video in 15 minutes has given me all the knowledge I need to succeed on any case brief I write for now on. I now have a true core understanding of how to write the brief, ( which became less of a chore once I watched your video and took notes). I also now understand, thanks to you, that a brief is for a case that has already gone to court, not for case details before court. Your video is well constructed, extremely well versed and so completely understandable. If you are not a law instructor, I hope you look into becoming one. The core knowledge I gained from this is astonishing.
Thank you for taking the time to do this, You have changed my interest level as well. :: Hugs :: :: High fives, and smiles:: YOU ARE PHENOMENAL!!!
